Acts 1:6-11 ALT
(6) So indeed, having come together, they began questioning Him, saying, "Lord, are You restoring the kingdom to Israel at this time?" (7) But He said to them, "It is not yours* to know times or seasons which the Father placed in His own authority, (8) _but_ you* will receive power, the Holy Spirit having come upon you*, and you* will be witnesses to Me both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and as far as [the] end of the earth." (9) And having said these [things], while they [were] looking, He was lifted up, and a cloud took Him from their eyes [fig., sight]. (10) And as they were looking intently into heaven [or, at the sky] as He [was] going, then look!, two men had stood by them in white robes, (11) who also said, "Men, Galileans, why have you* stood looking attentively into heaven? This Jesus, the One having been taken up from you* into heaven, will come in the same manner [in] which manner you* saw Him going into heaven."

(6) Then, indeed, coming together they questioned Him, saying, Lord, do You restore the kingdom to Israel at this time? (7) And He said to them, It is not yours to know times or seasons which the Father placed in His own authority; (8) but you will receive power, the Holy Spirit coming upon you, and you will be witnesses of Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. (9) And saying these things, as they looked on, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him from their sight. (10) And as they were intently looking into the heaven, He having gone, even behold, two men in white clothing stood by them, (11) who also said, Men, Galileans, why do you stand looking up to the heaven? This Jesus, the One being taken from you into the heaven, will come in the way you saw Him going into the heaven.

Acts 1:6-11 NWT
6 When, now, they had assembled, they went asking him: "Lord, are you restoring the kingdom to Israel at this time?" 7 He said to them: "It does not belong to you to get knowledge of the times or seasons which the Father has placed in his own jurisdiction; 8 but you will receive power when the holy spirit arrives upon you, and you will be witnesses of me both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the most distant part of the earth." 9 And after he had said these things, while they were looking on, he was lifted up and a cloud caught him up from their vision. 10 And as they were gazing into the sky while he was on his way, also, look! two men in white garments stood alongside them, 11 and they said: "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus who was received up from you into the sky will come thus in the same manner as you have beheld him going into the sky."

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
